SmartBear Recognized as a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Software Test Automation

Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, recently chose SmartBear as a Leader in its 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant report for Software Test Automation,[1] designed to help enterprises select Software Test Automation tool vendors. This is the fourth consecutive year Gartner has recognized SmartBear, and its first year as a Leader.

“Test automation tools are essential elements of a DevOps toolchain and enablers for achieving the continuous quality approach required for successful DevOps. Continuous quality is a systematic approach toward process improvement to achieve the quality goals of business and development. It synchronizes quality assistance and continuous testing with DevOps processes to help mitigate risks before progressing to subsequent stages of the software development life cycle.”

Gartner examined 11 software test automation vendors in the report based on two criteria: Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. The Gartner Magic Quadrant Report classifies each vendor into four different quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries and Niche Players.
